Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: After 43 years, there is at last some measure of justice. What a massive vindication for the families who refused to take no for an answer and refused to be ground down by the system. Everybody knows that the verdict is down to their steadfast campaigning on behalf of their loved ones. Everybody knows that the political and judicial establishments put every obstacle possible in the way of...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: Last week, the Taoiseach promised a new era for special education and appointed a Minister of State to deliver progress. This week, in Glanmire in Cork city, we see the National Council for Special Education break a promise to give a second special education class to the Brooklodge National School for this September. In Ballincollig, parents are being forced to take children with autism out...

Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: There is huge concern about the increased number of deaths on our roads with many of those who have died being young. Is it a issue of individual responsibility or of society not doing what could and should be done? Important issues of personal responsibility are involved. No one is denying that, but if I read the comments made by some Ministers in recent days carefully, I see an attempt...

Disability Justice: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: I wish to make some summing up remarks on the debate we have just had. Many of the contributions from the various Deputies centred on the issue of the Green Paper. It is clear that a wide variety of Deputies in this House are pleased about the fact that the Green Paper has been scrapped, thanks to the pressure the Government was put under by the disability campaigners first and foremost....

Disability Justice: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that the Department of Social Protection's Green Paper on Disability Reform: — proposes to introduce three "tiers" of payments depending on a person's supposed ability to work; — was published with no consultation with disabled people, and is opposed by a wide range of disabled people and their organisations; - will do nothing to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: We are told that we are living in the bright, shiny Ireland of the 2020s. Turn on many a tap in Cork city today and you might think that you had been transported back to the 1920s. Why? It is because of what is coming out of those taps. It is brown water, orange water, dirty and discoloured with sediment from the inside of water pipes that are more than 100 years old in some cases. I...

Ceapachán an Taoisigh agus Ainmniú Chomhaltaí an Rialtais - Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (9 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: Hear, hear.

Ceapachán an Taoisigh agus Ainmniú Chomhaltaí an Rialtais - Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (9 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: I want to correct the record of the Dáil. Earlier, I mistakenly said that the shortest-serving Taoiseach in the history of the State was John Bruton at 924 days. It was actually the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin, at 904 days. Maybe it just seemed longer. A couple of weeks ago, Deputy Michael Ring made the comment that Fine Gael has been too left for too long. If he...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: Deputy Harris has chosen a song from the 1970s as his new theme song, Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". It is a great song, but I can think of one or two other tunes from that decade that might be more appropriate. For example, I can think of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" from 1971. It might sum up the mood of the electorate a little better, and it does contain...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Meetings (21 Mar 2024)

Mick Barry: The Tánaiste mentioned that similar organisations exist in other European Union countries. I do not doubt him for a moment on that. The arms industry is shadowy. Are other EU countries as shadowy as what we have here? I imagine that in many other European countries the affiliates of a defence association are on the public record, but that is not the case here. The Tánaiste...
